can i use four 8ohm bose speakers with it

Four speakers (2 pair) at once yes. Four pairs no. Total resistance should not drop below 4 ohms with most amplifiers.

I can't answer this specifically. Having said that I have mine set up using Bose speakers with to mini speakers and a sub woofer inside. Outside on the porch are two outdoor speakers. I am not sure if this is of any assistance but thought I would share what little but of info I had.

I am not sure but I used it with Bose system with two speakers a a sub woofer if that helpsthere are also two outdoor Bose speakers

Yes, it should work just fine. If you have four sets of speakers, you will half to have a real strong amp.

On a 4 OHM output amp. You use one 4 Ohm speaker or two 8 OHM speakers. Example: One 8 OHM speaker + One 8 OHM speaker = 4 OHMs.

The question should be what are the impedances of your speakers. According to the Installation Guide "As more pairs of speakers are connected to a receiver the overall system impedance becomes lower. Ex: 2-pairs of 8-ohm speakers lowers the impedance to 4-ohms" The Niles allows impedance correction. It will handle 3 or more pairs of 8-ohm speakers protecting he receiver from low impedance loads.

These speakers are 8 ohm speakers that require an amplifier or stereo receiver

you would put the speaker in series to drop it down to 2 ohms if you parallel it it will come out to 8 ohms check with ohm meter if you don't believe

If it had an amp with it, which with a Bose system it has then the answer is no. Look at subthump for a harness that works with the amp itself. Then you can wire the amp to power the new speakers.

Great question. I have a set of small Bose bookshelf speakers that are 4 ohm. I just hooked them up a couple of days ago and they worked fine. I started with the power control turned all the way down on the Micro amp so as not to blow them and turned it up until I got the sound I wanted.

Two 8 ohms speakers in parallel make a 4 ohms load. If you have 4 speakers you'll have to wire 1 set of 2 in series wicch will give you 16 ohms and set 2 in series also. Two 16 ohms wired in parallel will make an 8 ohms load

Yes, you can, but even though this amp is most efficient at a 2 ohm load, most factory speakers are only 4 ohm.even at 4 ohms it may have too much power for the speakers, you need to keep the gain below half way!I hope this was helpful!

Yes and the neat thing is if you have paralle conectors on your speakers you can run one cable from the pa to a speaker then, connect the two with another speaker cable to make a 4 ohm load back at the pa. or just plug the two speaker cables out the back and one to each speaker and run in 8 ohms. I have done both with much success.

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

Yes you can. Specs say the amp is 2,4, or 8 ohms. Just don't mix on the A channel or B one 2 ohm and one 4 ohm speaker. If your going to install say the front speakers. Make sure they are the same ohms on the left and right. Same with the back speakers.

I don't see why not? I'ts only 2 ohms below 8 ohms. A little bit harder to drive those BS41's but yes, you can; particularly if you're just using these speakers for surround.

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

No I have not, but if it's a 4ohm rated amp I wonder if there will be adequate power to sufficiently power them (depending on your needs), as these are 8 ohm speakers.

At my house, I have a supplemental amplifier, and it's enough to power three sets of stereo in-ceiling speakers, and a set of stereo outdoor Bose speakers without any problems. Just check for your receiver's output specifications to make sure it will be enough. Otherwise, simply purchase another amplifier just for the speakers.
